About Oscar

Oscar Chavira Jr. is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are coping with anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar disorder, and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.

Oscar keeps language plain and direct in sessions. He talks through what happens when anger builds and helps people spot patterns that lead to snapping or long-term resentment. He also supports people managing mood shifts, addictive behaviors, grief, and stress that affect daily life.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. That means sessions include skill practice, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and building healthier ways to respond to strong feelings. Work may involve short behavioral experiments and concrete coping tools to try between appointments.

He also addresses concerns such as career stress, self-esteem, panic, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Additional focus areas include immigration issues, gender dysphoria, autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, and several types of process and substance addiction.

People can expect frank conversation and step-by-step strategies rather than abstract theory. Oscar encourages small changes that reduce everyday tension and improve relationships over time.

How sessions work

CBT and DBT approaches used for online care

The therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include brief exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anger, anxiety, and depression.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills training focuses on managing intense feelings, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and can adjust strategies over time based on progress and feedback.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people try skills and make steady changes while balancing work and family responsibilities.
